One thing which draws me to teaching mathematics and physics is that I have always been passionate about the beauty of mathematics and its deep connections to nature. The best education teaches a love of learning in itself, which is something I hope to impart to any students I work with. I also come from a family of teachers, as both my mother and her mother were teachers, and I have various cousins who are also involved in education. Education is in my blood, so to speak. I also have several years of personal experience tutoring and teaching courses. I have an extensive background in mathematics and physics. I have a dual bachelor's degree in the subjects, as well as graduate school in physics. My research in physics was focused on a particular aspect of string theory known as conformal field theory which elucidates deep connections between algebra, geometry, complex analysis, and physics. A full explanation of the research is beyond the scope of this statement, but I hope to convey my experience with the relevant subjects.

In addition to my main topics of tutoring, I also enjoy creating music. I used to play music classically and then switched to jazz. While I no longer perform music, I still produce electronic music and enjoy thinking about music theory. Some of the electronic music I've made is available on my YouTube page: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7eYcNH1pOy2ZN3VNTxr2ow
